[Short Instrumental Intro – fast pop-punk riff]
(quick guitar count-in, snare hits)
[Driving Verse – fast, clipped]
We met in the county, back when I was he
Thomas on paper, nowhere near free
You came to my house, I watched you leave
Didn’t know yet who I’d be
[Driving Verse – fast]
Lost a decade, split our ways
Different lives, different mistakes
Built my spine, I built my skin
Built a bitch — that’s how I stepped in
[Pre-Chorus – quick lift]
When you came back, it hit me fast
But you were still stuck in the past
[Powerful Chorus – fast, pop hook]
You light up parts I couldn’t see
Say Haley like it’s always been me
Two years in two months, crashing hard
I won’t be loved with your guard up
[Instrumental Break – fast guitars]
(palm-muted chugs, driving drums)
[Driving Verse – punchy]
Started fire, felt so right
She showed up in the late-night fights
I stood my ground, I wouldn’t bend
I won’t compete with who you’ve been
[Pre-Chorus – firm, fast]
I won’t be chosen halfway through
I need your heart, all of you
[Powerful Chorus – fast]
You light up parts I couldn’t see
Only if you’re all with me
Two years in two months, losing sleep
I won’t stay quiet, I won’t be weak
[Bridge – drop then snap]
Your kids were born while I was gone
Life kept moving, rolling on
I won’t erase what came before
But I’m not waiting anymore
[Build – rapid drum fill]
Say it now, no maybe, no doubt
[Final Chorus – fastest, biggest]
You light up parts I couldn’t see
So today you finally choose me
No looking back, no in-between
This is what forever means
[Outro – fast band ending]
It’s you and me, I won’t let go
I bled too much, you already know
Say it straight, don’t disappear
I’m choosing you — I’m right here
